Issue Cannot Migrate from 8.2 to 12.5

[PopcornCheeze]

Hi everyone,

I've been trying to migrate from Plesk Windows 8.2 to Plesk Windows 12.5 (now trial key)

Plesk 8.2 is in Virtuozzo (very old)

1. First, I backup 8.2 via Plesk Backup.
2. Convert to new version using pre9-backup-convert.exe and pre10-backup-convert.exe
3. Copy the converted files to destination Backup folder
4. The backup file appears on backup manager screen


5. On the Define IP Addresses Mapping screen, when I click OK button, nothing happen and cant do anything more. I have try upload IP mapping file but no use.



Please kindly give me advice on how to get pass this. Or maybe another way to migrate??

Thanks and best regards,
PopcornCheeze

I'd suggest you perform step-by-step versions upgrades to 10.4.4 version.
After that you can upgrade 10.4.4 version to latest 12.5 directly.
Also read carefully this documentation - https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/12.5/d...rade-from-plesk-9-and-earlier-versions.70381/

Thank you, IgorG.

However, there is no version 10.4.4 in installer console


I have tried searching but no result.
Could you please give me any advice?

Thanks

I meant upgrade your Plesk 8 to 10.4.4. And after that to 12.5.
You will see upgrade possibility to 10.4.4 when you run autoinstaller on Plesk 8.

Thanks IgorG,

But I'm not sure if there will be any problem after upgrading, so I don't want to make change on Plesk 8 which is a Production server.
Therefore, are there any way to install older version on newly created VM? As my Plesk 8 is too old and does not support clonning.

Thank you in advance.

You can try to upgrade your Plesk to 8.6 version at least and after that you will be able to use Plesk Migrator - https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/12.5/migration-guide/introduction.75496/
